Summary/Abstract: The professional integration of graduates in the Soviet Union reflects various educational and economic policies that characterize the role of higher education in relation to the relationship between skills and employment. The occupational integration process in the Soviet higher education sector, which is based on the manpower approach and is clearly geared to the needs of the economy, is considered to be one of the key indicators of the functioning of this education sector. The analysis of this problematic area touches questions of the economics of education and the economic efficiency of investments in higher education. The study of the professional integration of graduates also makes it possible to raise some questions about the management of the labor force (through physical incentives, etc.) in the production process and service sector under the framework of the "real" socialist social system. This is possible in principle because the planned economic employment system as a whole and taking into account the proportions of specialists with different qualifications with the higher education (and the education system in general) not only interlocked, but also its position in the social system exclusively by its function in the social production is determined.
